>BECAUSE the truth is unbearable that we need capital, capital is what you have to get as the repression of an ontologically unbearable truth.

right. squished into existence. and then you get situations where person A is actually going to suffer the consequences of B's ill-repressed death drives and vice versa. capital becomes the computer code-language we need to communicate in, and because that code needs to talk to itself, in a way...

>the system entrenches everything that makes the prospect of its destruction absolutely intolerable.

that's also wild to think about. keeping it becomes intolerable but at the same time you can't get rid of it. what else would happen in those circumstances but metastasization, entelechy? and who knows but dragging out your old weatherbeaten copy of the phenomenology? maybe we wind up personalizing or anthropocizing shared or collective neuroses in this way (or they do this themselves) just for ontological survival, or to ward off computer-crash identity crises...
